Did you know?
It is the curling flower stalk of hardneck garlic. Growers snap it off anyway so the bulb grows larger, which makes it a by-product that found its way into the kitchen; it has the texture of asparagus and a gentler garlic flavour.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
